This is the second year of extensive Great Lakes ice cover. In June, there was still ice in parts of Lake Huron.
I would like to say that I believe in “global warming.” Where I am sitting right now was under a mile thick sheet of ice 30,000 years ago, so thankfully the world is obviously a warmer place now. But the idea that mankind has a significant effect on the world’s climate is a type is simply hubris.
There was ice on Lake Superior in July!
